Vegan Easter Bunny Bread

Bunny bread is made with a sweet yeast dough, which can be easily prepared with plant-based ingredients. The specialty for this recipe is that you have to shape them in an bunny looking bread, which your kids are going to love.

How To Make Bunny Rolls

Prepare the sweet yeast dough and let it rise for 1.5 hours at room temperature.

Second option: Prepare the dough in the evening and let it rise overnight in the fridge. This way you can start right away to shape and bake the bunnies the next morning to serve them for your Easter brunch.

Third Option: Prepare the bunnies a few days in advance, freeze them after baking, and defrost in the oven.

How To Shape Easter Bunny Rolls

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.

Shape them into long rectangles.

Cut away 0.5″/1cm of each rectangle and form into a ball → this will be the tail.

Roll the rest of the rectangle into a long rope (~12″/30cm).

Take the two ends into your hand and twist them twice like in the picture below. You can stretch and form the ends if needed → these are the ears of your bunny.

Place the ball into the hole to form the tail → the hole doesn’t need to match the size of the ball, just place the ball on top so that it doesn’t fall down.

Carefully transfer the bunny rolls onto a with parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with the bread wash and sprinkle the ears and tail with poppy seeds.

Alternatives to poppy seeds: Use coarse sugar. The poppy seeds are just for decoration purpose, you can also leave them out entirely.

Instructions

Dough

Mix the yeast with the lukewarm soymilk and sugar in a little bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until foaming. Knead it with the flour and salt at low speed for 5 minutes in your kitchen machine.

Add the margarine and knead for another 5-10 minutes at medium speed, until you have a smooth dough which doesn’t stick to the bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise for 1.5 hours at room temperature (or overnight in the fridge → see notes).

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Shape them into rectangles. Cut away a little piece of dough (~0.5″/1cm) from each one and shape them into a small ball → this will be the tail. Roll out each rectangle in a long rope (~12″/30cm).
